The Ancestors of Thomas Farrar
Success! Two Generations of the Farrar ancestry found. There is still much work to do yet.
Thomas Farrar's parents were Eli and Elizabeth Shaw Farrar. Eli's father was David Farrar of Yorkshire, England. Nothing found on his wife or on the lineage of Elizabeth Shaw yet.
Thomas came to America from London in July 1847. His brother, John, was married in Hudderfield, Yorkshire, England which give some indication of where the family lived in England. Unfortunately, the name "Farrar" in that area of Yorkshire is about as common as "Smith" farther south.
Farrar family headstones in Walworth, Walworth Co., Wisconsin, include Elizabeth, wife of Eli. I suspect that Elizabeth and Eli are Thomas' parents and that she came to America later than her two sons. Thomas' son was named "Thomas Eli" which lends credence to that supposition.
